Real Reviews from
Grove City Parents

"I was SO nervous as a first time mom to take my then 10 week old baby to daycare. After the first day at BFA, I knew I didn’t have to worry anymore! My daughter is thriving thanks to the care of her loving and attentive teachers. We get updates on her activities throughout the day along with the most adorable pictures. When I pick her up, she is always content and either playing, sleeping or getting cuddles! The teachers and administrators are so kind and communicative. BFA is worth absolutely every penny of tuition. I can’t recommend it enough!"

-Anna
"My husband and I could not be more happy with our decision to send our son to BFA of Grove City! We know everyday our son is there he is getting the absolute best care from the most wonderful teachers and staff! If you are looking for a daycare for your little ones, BFA of Grove City needs to be at the top of your list!"

-Alyssa
"We absolutely love BFA of Grove City. We started both our kids (3.5 and 18 months) when they opened and have had nothing but the best experience. From the design of the classrooms, to the AMAZING teachers and directors, to delicious and healthy food to all the activities our kids get to experience each day, we cannot imagine a better place to send them. Our kids had always been watched at home, so we were nervous to transition to a daycare, but it has been the most wonderful experience for our family and cannot imagine having done any differently."

-Alyson
"After more than a year as part of the BFA Grove City family, we could not be more impressed, pleased and happy we chose them! Their staff is incredibly caring and professional. They’ve helped us through some big milestones with our son and continue to help him grow and shine! We were thrilled the facility was brand new when we joined and is extremely convenient from downtown cbus!"

-Patrick
"BFA has been the perfect place for our family. The teachers are staff are so kind and great with our kids. We get multiple photos and updates throughout the day about how they’re doing and what they’re learning. They have fun activities like yoga and jump bunch throughout the week that our daughter loves being a part of. They provide a variety of quality food for snacks and lunches. Everything is very clean and organized. We are so happy we switched to BFA. Highly recommend!"
